Born and raised in Oregon. After leaving graduate school in 1979 took first job in San Diego, California where I have lived in the area since then.

LongmireHi Dan..I processed the link for Daniel Longmire...I did not have them in my research tree..so I am hoping this is correct. There is another Daniel Longmire that is linked to him as well Find A Grave Memorial# 46699964. There is no data on that memorial..but I am assuming you researched it and perhaps he had 2 sons named Daniel and one died young. If this is not the case please let me know and I will research it. Have a great day..Sincerely, Wendy

Benjamin F. HargraveDan, Could you take a look at your Find A Grave Memorial# 118514545.(Benjamin F. Hargrave) The stone reads "Hargrove" and there are several other Hargroves in the Wesley Chapel Cemetery (South). Perhaps it is a different family but it might be worth a look.

Lewis Gideon Petticord (1866-1902)Having read your postings on the Find A Grave memorial pages for the siblings of Lewis Petticord, I decided that I should write to you as you seem to have more than a passing interest in this extended family. I am not related to the Petticord family (by whatever spelling) but, rather, I fancy myself as an auto racing historian who specializes in the history of that sport with any Kansas connection. Lewis Gideon Petticord had a son who was a professional race car driver and who even raced in the Indianapolis 500 a couple of times. He was Harold H. “Jack” Petticord (1900-1940). Jack was born here in Wichita and is also buried in the family plot here. He qualified for, and raced in, the 1927 Indianapolis 500. He also drove relief in the Indy 500 a couple of times and unsuccessfully attempted to qualify for a couple of others.

I have created a web page about Jack Petticord that I think (hope) you might find interesting. You can find that at: http://KansasRacingHistory.com/BigCars1930s_files/Petticord/Petticord.htm

I would be interested in learning anything more that you might be able to tell me about Lewis Gideon Petticord, his wife, and his children. I’ve been unable to locate any living descendants of Lewis Gideon Petticord and would love to know if you have been more successful in doing that that I have been. I am also interested in the inheritance that Jack Petticord is supposed to have received after the passing of an uncle. I’d love to find out who that uncle may have been. You can read a little more about that on my web page too.
